arrrrrg help man over board i installed a new lukes rod and crank with a new wiseco piston new oil seal kit new gaskets i have the stator plate mark with the mark on the case the spark is bright blue motor has tons of compression with the piston at tdc the pick up coil and mag lug are in line it did fire for about 2 seconds and died then after a while it did the same thing i have put 2 stroke fuel in the bore of the card and also a teaspoon of fuel in the cyclinder through the plug hole and no luck i also tried the same with starting fluid i plced the balance shaft allignment dots with the crank gear and i installed the crank gear on the crank shaft in the same location as on the take out crank but as far as i know that is just to time the ballance shaft the motor is a J engine are the statot timing marks the same on the 87 and the 88 i was told this is a 88

 

i finaly got it fired up i hooked it to the back of my sons 150cc talon buggy and dragged it down the driveway and it fired right up now it will kick right over but i still have problem when the crankcase is full of oil it smokes bad i put in 1 quart of 2 stroke synthectic 900ml i resealed the cases and changed thr crank bearings and new oil seals and o rings i dint c any cracks in the casing or do i have too much oil in it

 

you put how much oil in the crank case?no wonder you needed a buggy to start it.did you run it for a while to burn all the oil out?if so how does it run now?

 

well if i put to much oil in it how much goes in lol the case says 900ml i thought tat was about a quart but it does smoke allot but fires right up

 

the reason i asked is,your lt is a 2stroke correct?if so the 900ml of oil is for the clutch,the crank is a seperate from the clutch,in other words two different compartments.ok it smokes alot,how much 2 cycle oil are you mixing with the gas?the excess smoke could be from too much oil in the gas.Try a 32:1 ratio wich is 4oz.to a gal of gas.that should cure the excessive smoking and allow the engine to run better and you wont foul out any plugs.

 

yea i seen the seperat compartment i used the correct case sealer when i put the case back together i replaced all the case seals it smoke more and more the higher you rev it up i was told to use a 20 to 1 fuel mix that is where it is now but ill try the 32 to 1 as long as i dont have to put anothr crank in it

 

32:1 ratio is ok you will not go thru a crank.as long as the carb isnt set too lean you'll be fine.32:1 ratio is what i mix my gas and i run n.o.s. and everything is fine in the engine.

 

right now i believe the carb is set 1 turn out with a k&n air filter and a airbox

 

ok give that a try,it idles and starts ok?just checking because pull starting is very hard on the trans.

 

well its 40 degrees out today and i kicked it about 7 times and it cranked up but still smokes bad idles good to and rips down the road
